Topic: All user data on disk B (Read 1438 times)

I've arranged my system so that i've got a disk of 320GB for my OS (linuxmce), and a disk of 1TB for all data.What's the best way so all data is arriving on disk B?

Reason for this is to split my data from my system. Like this, i can take a complete images (without any user data) of disk A.And later on, i would like to add a third disk of 1TB so i can mirror disk B.

the only component that uses that strategy is mythtv, and you can force it to use a specific drive when you create recording profiles if you want.otherwise when ripping a disc, you tell it where to save.

This means that when my 1 TB disk has fe 75% in use, he'll start to use the primary disk (os)? Regarding he still has 250 GB free?

Is there a way to change this? So that my 1TB is always the primary disk for data? I'm just a bit afraid that after a while, i'll not be aware where my data is located. Some on disk A, some on disk B. So if i need to backup stuff (os or data), i need to backup each time everytime?

Well, do all the steps that are needed, create needed configuration files, put your steps into a shell script (a regular text file you can execute [look at any of the .sh files in /usr/pluto/bin]). The most simple script looks like

sudo apt-get install rdiff-backupCreate a backup folder (can be also remote NAS drive, external disk...). You need to do this only once. Replace everything after 'backups/' with the stuff you want (your home folder, your data folders, your...).

I don't know if we can implement something like this? Or is this a lot of manipulation on the current webmin? I don't have a clue about this. I'm happy to put some time into it. If I now how/when/where...
